During this process, the electric push rod, pull plate, and vertical plate move the squeezing plate and separate it from the gift. Then, the first hydraulic telescopic rod moves the fixed frame downward. The second hydraulic telescopic rod, push plate, and slide plate move the two partitions in opposite directions, causing the gift above the partitions to fall into the discharge box. The user can then retrieve the gift through the dispensing port, thus completing the automatic gift redemption. The platform is highly automated, requires no manual operation, saves labor costs, and avoids redemption errors.

[0026] 2. The second hydraulic telescopic rod will drive the two push plates to move relative to each other. At this time, the partition will automatically reset under the elastic force of the first reset spring. The electric push rod will drive the pull plate to reset. The vertical plate will drive the squeezing plate to move and press against the gift again under the elastic force of the second reset spring, thereby pushing another gift to move above the partition and completing the automatic feeding.

[0041] Example 1

[0042] Reference Figures 1-8 As one embodiment of the present invention, a points-based gift redemption cabinet is provided, comprising:

[0043] The main unit 100 includes a cabinet 101. Two fixing blocks 102 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cabinet 101. Each fixing block 102 has multiple placement slots evenly spaced. Two geared motors 105 are fixedly connected to the side wall of the cabinet 101.

[0044] The adjustment unit 200 includes two reciprocating lead screws 201. Each fixed block 102 has a cavity. One end of each reciprocating lead screw 201 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the cavity, and the other end of each reciprocating lead screw 201 is fixedly connected to the output end of the reduction motor 105. Each reciprocating lead screw 201 is engaged with a reciprocating lead screw sleeve 202. The lower end of each reciprocating lead screw sleeve 202 is fixedly connected to a first hydraulic telescopic rod 203. The telescopic end of each first hydraulic telescopic rod 203 is fixedly connected to a fixing frame 20. 4. Two second hydraulic telescopic rods 205 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the inner wall of each fixed frame 204. A push plate 206 is fixedly connected to the opposite end of each second hydraulic telescopic rod 205. Multiple slide plates 209 are slidably connected to the inner wall of each cavity. A partition plate 210 is fixedly connected to the lower end of each slide plate 209. A moving plate 211 is fixedly connected to the lower end of each slide plate 209. Multiple first sliding grooves are opened on the inner wall of each cavity. Two first return springs 213 are fixedly connected to the opposite side of each moving plate 211.

[0045] The feeding unit 300 includes multiple connecting plates 301. Each connecting plate 301 has an electric push rod 302 fixedly connected to one side. The telescopic ends of every two electric push rods 302 are fixedly connected to a pull plate 303. Each placement slot has a pressing plate 304 slidably connected to it. Each pressing plate 304 has a vertical plate 305 fixedly connected to its lower end. Each vertical plate 305 has a second return spring 306 fixedly connected to one side. The placement slot is configured to have one open end and the other end is a transparent glass plate.

[0046] It should be noted that the platform controls the geared motor 105 to work through the electrical box 108, which then moves the fixed frame 204 to move above the gift to be redeemed. During this process, the electric push rod 302, the pull plate 303, and the vertical plate 305 will move the squeezing plate 304 and separate it from the gift. Then, the first hydraulic telescopic rod 203 will move the fixed frame 204 downward. Then, the second hydraulic telescopic rod 205, the push plate 206, and the sliding plate 209 will move the two partitions 210 in opposite directions, so that the gift above the partitions 210 falls into the discharge box 104, which the user can take out through the dispensing port.

[0047] Working principle: When the gift is retrieved, the electrical box 108 controls the geared motor 105 to work. Its output end drives the reciprocating screw 201 to rotate. The reciprocating screw 201 drives the reciprocating screw sleeve 202 to move. The reciprocating screw sleeve 202, through the first hydraulic telescopic rod 203, drives the fixed frame 204 to move above the gift to be redeemed. During this process, the electric push rod 302 drives the pull plate 303 to move. The pull plate 303, through the vertical plate 305, drives the squeezing plate 304 to move away from the gift. Then, through the first hydraulic telescopic rod... 203 will cause the fixed frame 204 to move downwards. The second hydraulic telescopic rod 205 will cause the two push plates 206 to move in opposite directions. The push plates 206 will push the slide plate 209 to move in opposite directions. The slide plate 209 will cause the partition plate 210 to move in opposite directions. At this time, the gift at the front end loses its support and will fall into the discharge box 104 through the guide pipe 103. The user can take out the gift through the dispensing port, thus completing the automatic gift redemption. The degree of automation is high, no manual operation is required, saving labor costs and avoiding redemption errors.

[0048] Furthermore, the second hydraulic telescopic rod 205 drives the two push plates 206 to move relative to each other. At this time, the partition 210 will automatically reset under the elastic force of the first reset spring 213. The electric push rod 302 drives the pull plate 303 to reset. The vertical plate 305 will drive the squeezing plate 304 to move and press against the gift again under the elastic force of the second reset spring 306, thereby pushing another gift to move above the partition 210 and completing the automatic feeding.

[0054] Step four: The platform controls the geared motor 105 to work through the electrical box 108, which then moves the fixed frame 204 to the top of the gift to be redeemed. During this process, the electric push rod 302, the pull plate 303 and the vertical plate 305 move the squeezing plate 304 and separate it from the gift. Then, the first hydraulic telescopic rod 203 moves the fixed frame 204 downward. Then, the second hydraulic telescopic rod 205, the push plate 206 and the sliding plate 209 move the two partitions 210 in opposite directions, so that the gift above the partitions 210 falls into the discharge box 104, which the user can take out through the dispensing port.

[0055] Step 5: At this time, the electric push rod 302 drives the pull plate 303 to reset.
